ACT/SAT Score Importance
by: ?I know GPA is very important during recruitment, but how important are ACT/SAT scores?
#1 by: depends
if you've got a legit GPA (3.5 or better), then a 22 or better ACT should not hurt you... assuming you're a high school grad as opposed to home school grad
if your GPA is less than a 3.5, you really need a 24 or better ACT for your academics to not negatively impact you
and as always, exceptions are always a thing & you just never know. sometimes a girl with a 3.0 and a 22 ACT will do just fine & other times a girl with a 4.0 and a 32 will get released heavily at the first round. there are always case by case decisions - so no one answer will fit everyone's situation

No one looks at that. Not at all. Just GPA. & all sororities care that you have a 3.0+ for membership but only a FEW care & will drop you fast if it isn’t around that 3.8-4.0 threshold. Maybe if you have 3.5+ with HEAVY connections, you could still have those but it would take a lot of pull. Cough cough the ones with heavy jackson members.

Girl idk about that. Bring in someone with a 16 ACT and there's gonna be questions... no matter what her GPA is.

No like I’m telling you. Unless there was 1 spot left with 2 pnms and the only thing one had on the other was a higher act score, that’s the only time it would truly matter. Obviously a low gpa paired with low act would raise concerns but other wise no.

It only matters for getting past the first round. If you have a decent enough GPA for a particular house's requirements then they will look at your socials and if you have any connections. There is nothing you can do about it at this point so don't sweat it and see who you get back for second round and put your whole focus on those houses.
